Menu Plan for October 31st to November 6th

Good morning everyone.

 

It is Monday, and that means a new week of meals is before us.  Now, I haven't posted this in a really long time, but with the prices being so high lately, I've started being a lot more conscious of what I'm making, using what I have on hand, and trying to eat at home as much as possible.

 

We have never been a family that eats out a lot, just the occasional take out on payday.  But, the prices of take out are ridiculous at the moment, so when we have a craving for something, I try to make it at home as well.

 

With that in mind, I am cooking from my fridge and freezer the next two weeks, and really trying to use what is already available.  Here is this week's meal plan, and I'll be back next week with the new one for that week.

Menu plan for week February 21 - 28

Good morning everyone, I know I haven't been very good at updating this ol' blog, but I've been trying to get more recipes posted the past few days.

I sure hope you've been enjoying them.  

I plan on posting more frequently, sharing family favorites, new meals we have discovered and continuing to build up on my record of recipes, here on the blog.

If you've been following me for a while, thank you for still being here.  I sure hope you'll stick around.

Here is this week's meal plan, I'm making some old favorites, and sticking to recipes already available here on the blog.  I will be taking new pics for some of them, because they're quite old and have been here for many many years, but I enjoy going back in time, seeing what we were eating, and making some of those comfort foods again.

Hope you enjoy the new menu, and hope it inspires some of you, if you're struggling to figure out what to make for your families.
